Loose ball foul as the term suggests is a foul called when neither team is in possession of the basketball. It's a NBA term and is not used in international basketball (FIBA).
The NBA uses this terminology to describe a foul where neither team is in immediate control of the ball. This is important in the NBA, since they don't count offensive fouls in the team foul count (for shooting penalty). In FIBA, if player A1 fumbled the ball and while the ball was rolling around loose on the floor, player A2 fouled opponent B1 while trying to recover the ball, it would be an offensive foul, since Team A is still deemed to have team control until a shot is taken or Team B gains possession. In the NBA, that would be a loose ball foul. A rebounding situation is the most common type of "loose ball foul."

A loose ball foul is a personal foul that occurs away from the ball, which is like grabbing a jersey or pushing someone when they dont have the ball

Loose ball foul is foul called by the official away from the ball. Meaning there is a contact on the person without the ball. it can also be called during a rebound and there is no exact evidence on who has the possession of the ball but there is a contact.

In simple terms is when two players are rebounding and the one in front "boxes out" the one on the back, and the back player still gets the ball... automatically a "loose ball" foul is commited because the front player (the one doing the boxing out) has a better position to take the ball than the one in the back...
